Finding the right equine haulers and air transporters!

Having a horse transported by either a trucking carrier or an airline requires careful consideration. Most people use haulers within continental North America, reserving the use of airlines primarily for international transport to competitions such as Australian or Irish Horse Racing, European Grand Prix Jumping, or for transporting Thoroughbred Stallions for breeding, for example. Equilink.com can not only help you find the right company to entrust with your horse's care and welfare, but can help you do the preliminary research necessary by pointing you to trusted organizations and associations that will help you to ask the right questions.

For instance, when considering a trucking company, you'll want to ask questions such as, "Is the carrier properly registered and insured? Are they registered with DOT (Department of Transportation)"? and "Will my horse be transferred to another carrier mid-trip"?

If you're considering using airline transport, you'll want to know things such as, "Do I have to apply for permits from quarantine/health authorities myself? Who deals with Customs authorities in the port of departure and/or arrival? and Who travels with my horse?"

When it's time to select the right company to transport your most precious cargo, turn to Equilink.com. The site created by horse people for horse people who truly care about getting the job done right, the first time.

How are transportation costs determined? What health certificates are required? Will I need to get a Horse Insurance Quote? Am I responsible for arranging any tests personally? Let Equilink.com help you find the answers!
